Can we persist hide YC job postings from the same company?

As the only form of advertising that HN does—I think this is a totally acceptable trade-off to being able to use it for free.

If you really want to hide it, you could write a CSS rule with the :has selector. Probably won't be too long 'till that's standardised and implemented. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:has

But, as the only thing really funding Hacker News, I think unobtrusive, easy-to-identify job ads are a worthy price to pay.

The funny thing is, I've noticed these too, and all I come away with is the impression that nobody wants to work for ZeroCater. I can't imagine that impression bodes well on recruiting.

Alternatively it would be cool if comments could be open on job posts so that folks who've had experience applying, interviewing or working at the company can leave notes for others.

The job ads are already staggered so that a company's ad can't appear on the front page until it has fallen off https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs. That's why you're seeing a week or two elapse between any of those posts.

Not sure why YC would build a feature to limit the audience of their job postings on a platform they own and operate

I think a lot of companies post job openings as a form of advertising. I'm not saying that is what is happening here, but there always seems to be a set of companies that have the same positions listed for over a year, despite being relatively small companies.

There's a "hide" button on every post on HN, including job posts.
